ABOUT THIS ALBUM

Album Notes

Johnny Jay was born to entertain. Johnny's passion for the music of the great crooners is evident in this sampling from the Great American Crooner songbooks. Johnny has the knack for bringing the essence of the orginal artist with a little something of his own as he pays homage to the greats that inspried hi,.

"My Dad used to play this music when I was growing up and all of us kids would sing along. I thank him for that. He helped me to discover greatness in vocal music whether it was the standards or country. I mean Elvis was a crooner and so was Willie Nelson, each in their own genre. And the best part is this music is still cool with the young and the old alike."

Johnny Jay is on a mission to keep the torch songs and standards of the 40's, 50's and 60's alive and well. When he's not traveling around the country doing just that he is at home with his lovely musical wife Jan, the inspiration to his musical moods and the believer in his dreams. So slip my CD into the player, dim the lights and maybe do a little dancing with that someone special who is with you tonight. I'm glad I could help set the mood!

John Klocke is one of the best singers I have heard in a long, long time. If ever there was a hidden treasure, it would be this man/s immense talent. Every song on this CD is a winner. The time is now for the world to discover the joy of "Croonin'".
